So it’s nearly study month, which means 70% of study time will be dedicated to aimlessly searching through Facebook. Some brave souls opt for suspending their accounts with the hopes of erasing social networking from their lives for 2 whole months. I don't have that kind of self- discipline. And I’m not that delusional. Looks like Mark and I are in it for the long haul.
For those of you who’ll be accompanying me on the procrastination train that is Facebook, I’ve made a list of things that people do on FB that seriously annoy me. I’d appreciate it if any offenders could take note and adjust their behaviour accordingly – would make my "study" time far less irritating.
1. Don’t “like” your own status. Aside from a frape, you wrote it yourself so there’s a high probability that you already like the fact that you’re “Going to London tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!” You don’t have to reiterate it for us, it’s okay; your excessive use of exclamation marks gave us some indication already.
2. Facebook isn’t a diary. Everyone has that one friend who clogs up your news feed with overly personal details of their life (if you don’t, it’s probably you). It results in very awkward replys to the effect of “Hope you’re okay” or “I’m here if you need to talk?” or that one person who doesn't quite know how to respond and just “likes” it instead. Bad call.
3. “Bex Clune is at Bed” Really? Was this necessary? It’s like 11.30pm on a Monday night.
4. "LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!I'm the luckiest girl in the world!!These past 3 days have been the best ever, so happy your my boyfriend!!Love you 4EVA!" Now I don’t want to come across as some desperate, jealous singleton - I usually love nauseating, romantic gestures (See Youtube videos in previous post). But when someone’s writing posts to this effect EVERY SINGLE day (I’m not exaggerating, I’ve seen it) it just becomes cringey. Get a room - or a phone.
5. Using Facebook as Twitter. If you’re posting more than 6 statuses a day(and that’s seriously pushing it), follow this link and set up an account okay?

Problem solved. Now you can tell anyone who wants to follow you that you're "Really tired today, FML"

People have started using # tags on FB now too... Wrong social media site like, it's very annoying!! Having said that there's no way il disabling my account for study month!
ReplyDeleteOoooh hate hashtagging on Facebook, Twitter people!!
Deletehaha soooo true! Especially the part about people using Facebook as a diary. Posing really "deep and meaningful song lyrics" because you know I'm soo dark and mysterious like that. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteHaha...very "music is the only thing that understands me." So deep
DeleteI have to agree with you. Cant stand people aswell telling everyone what they had for breakfast, we dont care. But at the same time ill be keeping my account
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I don't see "Food Journal" anywhere on Facebooks mission statement like!
DeleteDefinitely know a few people like that! (Quickly checks own FB history to make sure it's not me)
ReplyDeleteSo annoying like. I don't care what you had for breakfast and if I did you would be scared :P
Oh I definitely had to do a thorough search of my Timeline, a few things on the list had to be cut because I was incredibly guilty of some in the past!
DeleteWeird you mentioned it because i actually was just giving out about people checking into "Bed" earlier... Is it really necessary?? Nobody cares!!
ReplyDeleteHa seriously, next it'll be "Bex is at Shower" or something!
Deleteliking your own status really hammers home the point. why should i be denied the joy you get from my statai just because I'm the one burdened with the insatiable wit????????
ReplyDeleteHaha...none of these apply to you Bref don't worry, you're allowed appreciate your wit as much as you want - You go like that status!
Deletehahaha - very true & very funny !!! Pointless check-in's annoy me the most !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo pointless right!?
DeleteI could not agree more with the checking into bed thing. That is something that annoys me to no end!
ReplyDeleteAnd liking your own status, its like giving yourself a high-five... and thats not very cool, so get the message people!
Haha...I think a lot of people do it to get the ball rolling for more "likes", but then if no one does its just tragic!
DeleteThe checking in to bed is really weird alright. I once knew a girl who would check into bed at her house (and the map showed her house)...that's just asking for something bad to happen!
ReplyDeleteEeks! - You see people, nothing good comes from being annoying!! :)
DeletePointless check-ins are really annoying! Places like "My house" are just crying out for a real life stalking, feel free to give me a slap if I ever do this.. :)
ReplyDeleteHa - duly noted, you have my word :)
DeleteThe diary updates are the worst! I have had to block certain people from my news feed in the past due to this!
ReplyDeleteOh ya, I've cut a good few people...sometimes tough loves the way to go!
DeletePeople treat it like a diary!!!! Someone checked into the princess bed before its crazy!!!!
ReplyDeletePrincess Bed??Oh my god that is hilarious!
